Adjusting Riving Knife - Bosch GTS1041A Instrucciones De Funcionamiento

ADJUSTING RIVING KNIFE

1. Check that the blade is properly aligned paral-
lel with the miter guage groove per instructions
listed under "Adjusting Blade Parallel to the Mi-
ter Gauge Slots (page 20) and adjust the blade
if necessary. Check that the rip fence is aligned
with the blade (see instructions listed under
"Aligning Rip Fence" on page 21) and adjust
the rip fence if necessary.
2. Raise the blade to the full height (up) position.
Raise the riving knife to its full up position (see
instructions listed under "Positioning The Riv-
ing Knife" , page 15). Remove the Anti-Kickback
Pawls and Guard Assembly from the riving
knife. Remove the insert plate.
3. Place the rip fence 3 on the left side of the table.
Carefully move the rip fence against the blade
so that the rip fence is parallel to the blade and
just touches the tips of the saw teeth. Lock the
rip fence and make sure the blade at the front
and back is still touching the rip fence (Fig. 32).
4. Loosen Hex Nut 6 with 10mm open end wrench
(Fig. 34). Slightly loosen Clamping Screws
8 (1/4-1/2 turns) using a 5mm hex wrench
provided with table saw (stored in left side of
base). Loosen Set Screw 7 using a flat screw-
driver (Fig. 34).
5. Make two folds in a small piece (6" X 6") of
ordinary newspaper making three thicknesses.
Paper 5 is used as a "Spacing Gauge" .

NOTE: The spacing instructions above are based
on using a standard kerf blade (.128" kerf on the
Bosch blade included). If a smaller kerf blade is
used, adjust the paper spacer. For instance, if the
kerf of the replacement blade is near .100" , use 1
thickness of paper as a spacer; if the kerf is near
.110" , use 2 thicknesses.
6. Place the paper spacing gauge 5 between the
riving knife 1 and the rip fence 3 (Fig 35).Hold
or clamp Riving Knife and paper firmly against
Fence (Fig. 35).
a. Lightly tighten the clamp screws 8.
b. Remove the paper - Slide fence away from
blade.
c. Slowly turn the Set Screw 7 while watching
the Riving Knife tilt until it is in line with the
blade.
d. Recheck squareness of riving knife to table
by sliding fence against blade. Readjust if
necessary.
7. After completing adjustments:
a. Lightly tighten hex nut 6 (hold set screw posi-
tion with screwdriver while tightening nut).
b. Fully tighten Clamp Screws 8 with hex
wrench. Then fully tighten the hex nut.
IMPORTANT: The riving knife must always be
INLINE with the saw blade body when blade is at
any bevel angle. Replace the Table Insert Plate,
Barrier Guard Assembly and Anti-Kickback Pawls
before making cuts.
